FROM WILLIAM PARK WORKSHOP

I enrolled in a 5 day worksop with local painter William Park (www.williampark.net)

Only lasted 3 days due to the physical intensity of this type of class. But I learned a few new techniques, and was reminded of some old ones. I really just wanted to start getting to know the "artist network" a bit here in the Pacific Northwest and maybe meet some new friends. Having a beautiful new studio at home makes it easy to isolate.....as all creative people know....not good for mental health! This painting is the beginnings of practicing Bill's process. I will probably work on it some more, and I was able to have fun, which is what he advocates in painting :-)

As I begin to immerse myself in my art heart's journey once again, I am hoping to share it with those who have an interest. Being in the Pacific Northwest is fertile ground for the next level of exploration.

For me, it is all about finding my way back to the limitless joy that art provides, as balance to the pain and darkness, on the other side. Painting is one part, but the sound of music, creative writing as expression, and performance art all embody who I really am.

I love to teach, using my skills in art therapy and I hope to be of service in some way, from this place in my heart, to my new community.
